My job list is full of alien girls.

Chapter 53 I'm looking for myself?

"I have a friend... who is physically weak."

Although it was a spur-of-the-moment thought, Rhodes's words were naturally the result of careful consideration.

His fusion time with Alina has been extended, but the frequent battles and long fusions still put a huge mental strain on the two of them.

Given the uncertainty and unpredictability of the upcoming itinerary, Rhodes naturally needed to make some preparations in advance.

Medical conditions at the grassroots level are poor, so it's essential to prepare high-potency supplements in advance for unforeseen circumstances.

Moreover, even if he doesn't need it now, Aphrodite's body is severely depleted. If he could help her recover, it might even enhance the effectiveness of her support skills.

Although Rhodes thought things through very thoroughly, the meaning he expressed did not prevent others from misinterpreting it.

"..."

The two men present looked at Rod with rather subtle expressions.

In their view, admitting such a thing requires immense courage.

Not to mention there were several women present...

The vice president and Lucius exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with a mixture of admiration and sympathy.

"Weak constitution?"

Seeing the expressions on the two men's faces, Milan instinctively looked at Rod with a strange expression as well.

But after a moment's thought, she realized something was wrong and quickly dismissed the absurd idea in her mind.

Others might not know, but she had actually gone on adventures with Rhodes, and even if it was only once, she could still see some of his secrets.

How could Hiro be physically weak? The physical abilities he's displayed are terrifying.

When the village was attacked by a large number of goblins, it was he who roamed the battlefield, constantly shooting down monsters and severely wounding the goblin leader, giving them a chance to turn the tide.

After a short rest, they immediately led them to pursue the fleeing goblin leader, withstood its dying counterattack, killed a bunch of cubs, and carried the two rescued children back to the village...

If he's considered weak, then what am I?

Is he disabled?

Even the usually lazy Milan felt tired thinking about this, so she turned to the vice president and asked:

"What, your Adventurers' Guild can't even fulfill such a small request?"

"Cough cough..."

Lucius turned his head away, picked up his water glass to hide his embarrassment, while the vice president broke the silence with two dry coughs.

"May I ask what specific needs you require?" He hesitated for a moment, then said, "We can arrange for some experienced doctors to provide you with treatment..."

"In this regard, the guild has a good network and channels..."

"No need." Upon hearing this, Rhodes decisively refused.

Whether it's the combined form or Aphrodite, exposing oneself to outsiders unless absolutely necessary is just asking for trouble.

"Understood, understood." The vice president gave Rhodes a knowing look. It was perfectly normal for the person involved to resist contact with the doctor when it came to a matter of male dignity.

He immediately changed his strategy and proposed a new plan: "The guild warehouse also has some magical items, herbs, and tools that can nourish magic and strengthen the body. What does Lord Hiro think?"

"Okay." Rhodes agreed after thinking for a moment.

"Herbal medicine again?" Seeing this, Milan couldn't help but wonder, "Is he planning to do something?"

Considering his previous actions of having villagers pay off their debts with herbs, and the fact that his current actions were related to this, Milan became even more certain of her earlier speculation.

The fact that someone can casually pull out several bottles of healing potion for ordinary people shows that he doesn't lack these things.

Either he's a pharmacist himself, or he has a stable supply chain; either way, this guy is no ordinary person.

Unfortunately, Milan's knowledge of treatment and pharmacology was not deep enough to deduce his information from the few words Rode revealed.

Otherwise, the Arcane Society would not have assigned Susanna, a priest of the Silvermoon Cult, to accompany her in order to compensate for the team's lack of healing.

"Then it's settled," the vice president smiled, then changed the subject, looking at Rhodes with a hint of hesitation, "However, are you really confident you can fulfill the commission?"

The purpose of asking this question was mainly to test the young swordsman's abilities. If he showed any weakness or made boastful claims, then the feasibility of this matter would be questionable.

Although the vice president maintained a polite demeanor towards the ranger out of respect for Milan, he was still somewhat uneasy about the source of the monster disturbances in the Misty Forest, as well as the reputation and credibility of the Adventurers' Guild.

"Since I've accepted the commission, I will naturally do my best," Rod said, glancing at Milan. "However, such a big matter is ultimately not something a nobody like me can decide."

He was quite modest in his words, but his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. He seemed quite reliable and mature, which reassured the vice president a little.

Milan, naturally, wouldn't allow the person he brought to be questioned. He leaned back and said lazily, "Don't let his non-local status fool you; he's an absolute master when it comes to tracking and navigating."

At this point, she looked at Rod beside her and smiled:

"I witnessed your speed and efficiency when you chased down that escaped goblin leader. In that environment, you were able to accurately locate the tracks, successfully hunt, and return safely and quickly, which demonstrated a high level of professionalism."

"Yes, yes, as soon as we entered that misty forest, we felt dizzy and disoriented. Everything around us looked the same. We really don't know how the wandering knight found the way."

Don Quixote untimely and loudly agreed, incidentally exposing Milan's secrets.

"If it weren't for the ranger guiding us, Miss Susanna and I would have been lost for who knows how long under Ms. Milan's guidance."

Susanna, standing next to her, lowered her head somewhat embarrassed, pretending to examine the hem of her skirt.

Milan was both angry and amused, glaring at Don Quixote with a displeased look, but he couldn't refute her.

The other two people in the private room had different thoughts upon seeing this.

The vice president pondered to himself, Milan was arrogant and always looked down on ordinary adventurers, so for her to trust him so much and take the initiative to vouch for him, this ranger named Hiro must indeed have something special.

Since the mages from the Arcane Academy are backing us up, there's not much to worry about in terms of completion.

Although Milan's personality is somewhat annoying, his character is reliable, and he is much more noble than those guys who don't work even after being paid.

Even if they can't complete the task, it would be great if they could eliminate more monsters, given their strength.

When Lucius, who was sitting to the side, heard this, especially when they emphasized that Hero was extremely good at tracking, a thought flashed through his mind.

Skilled at tracking?

Wouldn't that mean...?

"Brother Hero, since you're skilled at tracking," Lucius suddenly sat up straight, looking intently at Rhodes, and said directly, "I'd like to ask you to help me find someone."

"Don't drag him into your Holy Light Church's mess." Upon hearing this, Milan frowned and immediately interrupted.

She didn't want the fighting force she valued to be distracted by the Vatican's troublesome scandals.

Although she participated in the capture of that demon, it was merely a pretense to fool the other party.

Moreover, since Hiro seems to be involved in this matter, it is even more important to isolate the two sides to prevent the Holy Light Church from targeting him.

"No, this matter actually has nothing to do with the Holy Light Church..." Lucius ignored Milan's sarcasm and looked at Rhodes, his tone becoming more serious. "This is my personal request, or more precisely, my private matter."

"Who are you looking for?" Rod asked, looking at him with some curiosity.

Being entrusted with this task by Lucius was quite a novel idea for him.

"I'm looking for a friend of mine..." Lucius paused, "...a corpse collector."

"His name is Rod."

Upon hearing this, Rod was stunned.

Me, looking for myself?
